Study finds high-mileage electric cars beat petrol on reliability
Original: High-mileage electric cars are more reliable than petrol ones, study finds
A new study reported by The Guardian finds that electric cars with 90,000 to 120,000 miles on the clock are more likely to pass MOT roadworthiness tests than petrol models of the same age. The findings challenge a common assumption that EVs deteriorate faster, and are prompting discussion about battery longevity and used EV value.
Why now: It counters widespread scepticism about long-term EV reliability, fuelling debate among drivers and the car industry
